One of two railway stations now serving the town, the other is Hemel Hempstead just up the line in Boxmoor.

Apsley is managed and train services are operated by London Northwestern Railway.

The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the Privatisation of British Railways.

A number of early morning and late evening services are extended beyond Milton Keynes Central to and from Northampton and Birmingham New Street.
